How can I wean smoothly?

Patient's question:

The baby cries and refuses to breastfeed during the day, but cannot at night. About the previous treatment and its effects: wanted to wean but the baby cries, what kind of help is needed: how to wean the baby, how to enhance the baby's hunting instincts

Doctor's answer:

There are actually many different methods for weaning a baby. Weaning should be a gradual process. If you provide complementary foods on time for your baby, around the age of six months, they should be able to eat a considerable amount of food. At this point, the mother should reduce the frequency of diaper changes to just once in the morning and once in the evening.
During the weaning period, it is essential to pay attention to a balanced diet. Children grow and develop rapidly, and their nutritional needs are high. If you suddenly wean them without proper feeding methods, they may not adjust well. If they also lack adequate nutrition intake, it can easily lead to malnutrition and digestive disorders. You should gradually reduce the amount of breast milk while teaching your child to use a spoon and bowl to eat food, and pay attention to the types and consistency of the food they eat.
